(erielack) Advance 100
PS - I used a short meat hook for a tire knocker during that time!! ;-)
Aha, Guilty!!
In 1979 UPS started their own "Martrac" subsidiary for this arrangement. It owned reefer trailers that would take perishables east from California and parcels west. Since parcels aren't palletized I imagine the pallets were just stacked up at the front of the trailer.

Back in the early 1970's, UPS used the empty reefer trailers for loading
westbound parcels. As a TT driver for UPS, I frequently pulled empty reefer
trailers from Croxton to the Secaucus center for loading then took them
back for the rail trip west. Just some backhaul usage of these trailers.
